Brokeback the musical?

Today's New York Daily News is reporting that author Annie Proulx, who wrote the short story upon which Brokeback Mountainwas based, has given the go-ahead for the story to hit the stage--in the form of an opera. It will be composed by Charles Wuorinen.

We are not sure what to make of this, but considering how much we loved Brokeback, we hope for the best.
